It’s been a few months since I’ve provided an update about my running and the project – I’ve truly been meaning to sit down and get this out! Now that I am officially on leave, I have the headspace and the time. So way back when (mostly likely early March) I complained in a post

Emotionally, I feel like Goddammit is stronger as an album, but I love this album as well – it’s my second favourite! I really like the album cover for Maybe I’ll Catch Fire too – rich colours, dark and gloomy, love it. Another great casual run to bust out some harmonies along the foreshore (my

Run time: 35 mins Run day – Wednesday 3rd April, 2024 I love this album. It’s my favourite Alkaline Trio album (so far, and amongst the few that I’ve listened to). There is something special about first albums – a rawness, sloppier production, less studio gloss, nothing to lose. I think Matt Skiba is a

I’m back! I haven’t stopped running, just haven’t kept up with the blogging end of the project – whoops! So for a bit of an update, I last spoke of heading up to Queensland for a work trip and my intention to take a break from running while up there to give my shin a

This post is a bit late, but better late than never. This week I took 2 days off running because I have felt so fatigued and my shin was playing up again. I think the rest has helped a little, although I did a very casual and slow parkrun yesterday and my shin is feeling

This was a hard run and it was my fault because the previous Saturday I was very silly and pushed myself during the parkrun. Sure, I shaved a good few mins off my recent 5km PB, but at what cost?! My left shin immediately let me know that it was not happy, and it has
-
In the words of Ice Cube, I gotta say it was a good day. I hit the ground running (ha!), felt the TINIEST twinge in my troublesome shin and slowwwwwwed down. Worth it, because it was the longest I’ve been able to run! I made it through Dos and loved everything until I got to
-
I had a great run today, but this is not directly attributed to listening to ¡Uno!. I don’t think it’s a bad album or anything, it’s pretty tight and polished actually, but I just felt a little bored. There were some fun parts throughout it, and as with all Green Day albums so far, I
-
I looked at the run time of the album and thought, shit, I don’t think I’ve ever actually run for that long before. In 2019, I was running sub 60 min 10kms in around 55 mins or so, which was a decentish time, and I’ve never done a run longer than 12 km! So, here

This is a backdated post because I started the project in January before I decided to start this blog. I don’t remember the last time that I’ve run for this long, especially without walking for bits of it, but I’m also learning that I’m more capable of things than I think or feel in the
